Darwin at the edge of the visible universe.
“Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything”, observes Shakespeare’s Jaques bitterly in As You Like It. today, we might bristle with prosthetics that keep our senses ticking along, but unless your job as a fighter pilot or tea specialist depends on 20/20 vision or subtle taste, then for the most part lack of acuity in our senses passes largely un remarked. it was not always so. For much...
متن کاملOn the Fractal Structure of the Visible Universe
Some years ago we proposed a new approach for the analysis of galaxy and cluster correlations based on the concepts and methods of modern Statistical Physics. This led to the surprising result that galaxy correlations are fractal and not homogeneous up to the limits of the available catalogues. In the meantime many more redshifts have been measured and we have extended our methods also to the a...
متن کاملCataloging the Visible Universe through Bayesian Inference at Petascale
Astronomical catalogs derived from wide-field imaging surveys are an important tool for understanding the Universe. We construct an astronomical catalog from 55 TB of imaging data using Celeste, a Bayesian variational inference code written entirely in the high-productivity programming language Julia. Using over 1.3 million threads on 650,000 Intel Xeon Phi cores of the Cori Phase II supercompu...
متن کاملBringing the Visible Universe into Focus with Robo-AO
The angular resolution of ground-based optical telescopes is limited by the degrading effects of the turbulent atmosphere. In the absence of an atmosphere, the angular resolution of a typical telescope is limited only by diffraction, i.e., the wavelength of interest, λ, divided by the size of its primary mirror's aperture, D. For example, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), with a 2.4-m primary m...
